Smoke Alarms
Place at least 10 feet from kitchen/stove, and on the ceiling or high on a wall, no more than 10 inches from top.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Carbon monoxide alarms can be placed anywhere, not just the ceiling or high on a wall. They should be replaced every 5 to 7 years.
Fire Extinguishers
Keep in the kitchen and garage, but make sure to have the right grade for the type of fire that might occur.
Escape Ladders
Have at least one if your home has more than one story. Each room needs 2 escape routes; in most bedrooms it's the window, so have a ladder nearby.

Product Description
While all smoke alarms are designed to detect smoke, different sensing technologies react differently to certain types of fires. The fist alert Sa3210 dual sensor ten year alarm makes use of both ionization and photoelectric sensors to offer the earliest possible warning-regardlesss of the type of fire. Sometimes a fire can smolder for hours before erupting into flames. Photoelectric sensing technology is more sensitive than ionization sensing technology at detecting these sorts of smoldering fires, like those caused by cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. Other fires erupt into flames quickly, like kitchen grease fires or fires fueled by paper burning in a wastebasket. Ionization sensing technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric sensing technology at detecting these sorts of flaming fires. This alarm is powered by sealed, ten year lithium batteries to provide continuous protection for ten year without battery replacement. Single test/silence button mutes unnecessary alarms and tests function. End of life timer sounds when it's time to replace your alarm. First Alert Sa3210 meets UL217 standards and complies with legislative requirements for 10-year battery operated smoke alarms. This product includes mounting hardware and is backed by a 10 year limited .

Liked Them So Much I Purchased More to Replace All 7 In My Home

- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025Size: 2-PackStyle: Precision DetectionPattern Name: SMI100Verified PurchaseI just replaced my Kidde wired smoke detectors with these battery operated ones. Bought 2 to begin with, and just ordered 4 more for the rest of the house. Perfect fit! So easy to install. I just had to take off the old mount, install the new mounts, pull the battery tag, test and they are up and going. I have always went with Kidde, but have noticed over the years that some of their products aren’t as good as they used to be. The last batch of Kidde smoke alarms I bought on Amazon had a 2014 date, but I bought them in 2018. My now ex put them up. Not sure why he didn’t check the date. So I only got 7 years out of them. The First Alert smoke alarms are so easy to test. Just overall a good product.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024Size: 3-PackStyle: Precision DetectionPattern Name: SMI100Verified PurchaseThere are 2 great things about this smoke alarm, other than the good price.
1. The battery is included. Just pull out the tab that is used to keep the contacts separated and you are all set. This saves at least $1 per alarm.
2, I could use the mounts that were already there for First Alert alarms that I had put up 10 and maybe 15 years ago. I didn’t have to use the the new ones. This was a big deal, since my ceilings are very high and while I could get on a ladder to screw the new alarm into the old mount, it would have been hard to put up a new mount. While I hoped that this would be true, I wasn’t sure it would be - I bought this one because the picture on listing looked the same as the ones I had installed, but so often companies “improve” things and make them incompatible with older products. The inside of the alarm may be different, but the mounting is not. Kudos to the company for making it really easy to install so I didn’t procrastinate .
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025Size: 1-PackStyle: Precision DetectionPattern Name: SMI100Verified PurchaseI had to replace all of the smoke detectors in my house because they were all just old. All were hard wired except one...way up on the wall in our vaulted living room. I climbed up to replace it and found out it was not hard wired with the rest of them. I bought this to replace that one and it's super easy to mount and replace the battery when needed. I just replaced it so I obviously can't comment on battery life but it's easy to replace so I am not worried about it. Put in a screw or two to hold the base and then simply twist the detector into place and you are done and protected.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016Size: 1-PackStyle: Standard DetectionPattern Name: SA320FFVerified PurchaseUpdate 8/19/20: I managed to get more than two years out of the replacement, but here I am again, having bought two more. They work fine (alarm when I overcook dinner, haha), but have very early failures. The one in the living room failed again in the middle of the night. Then a few days ago our toddler closed the door to the bedroom (can't be slammed, old house, and it barely closes) and the alarm started going off. Even changing the batteries didn't help. So we've again had to replace both detectors on the main level of our house. These fit right into the old holders, which was nice. We will be moving within the next year, and I *won't* be buying these for the new house.
Original review: I selected this unit when I bought a house two years ago. They were very easy to install, simply by using two screws to attach a baseplate, and then twisting on the detector.
I never had them go off through any sort of false alarm (such as a steamy shower) but one too-done dinner (and the associated smoke) did trigger it.
Why not 5 stars? Well, after 23 months, one of the units had a critical failure in the middle of the night. I woke up to a weird sound, and first had to locate the source. Then I had to Google it, because it was clearly not the low battery sound. It turned out to be a failure, which seemed disappointing after less than 2 years.
I bought a new one because I could use the same mounting bracket (aka laziness). But if it fails again in less than two years, I won't be buying this same brand again.

My old smoke alarms that are all interconnected/hard-wire were constantly going off, all 7 of them at the same time...so over it...
Decided to try these First Alert smoke detectors that are strictly battery operated and not hardwired...I ordered a 3 pack first to see if I liked them...I liked them so much, I ordered 4 more so that now all of them are brand new and no more blasting sirens randomly in the middle of the night when I was asleep!
Super easy to install, took less than 2 minutes each to pull out the old one and replace the new one.
I tested them out buy using a lighter up next to one and it went off as I hoped it would!

- M. KellyReviewed in Canada on April 6, 2025
3.0 out of 5 stars Have no idea if these work. Fire dept recommended them.
Size: 1-PackStyle: Standard DetectionPattern Name: SA3210FFVerified PurchaseFortunately, haven't had to test these against both types of fires. I could replicate a self-test and just haven't gotten around to doing it. What I can say is the batteries need replacing a lot more frequently. Have at least 5 of these in my house and I they beep for a change every 3 months. I could've let the more common, ionization smoke alarms go for years without a battery replacement. I was pretty good about changing them, but there were a few times I'd forgotten over 40 years and never had alarms screaming at me for new batteries frequently. Hope they do work. Ive been through a fire and the type of fire alarm I had was designed to pick up direct ionization fires and mine was a photoelectric fire. Half my upper floor was immersed in smoke and destroyed and the ionization alarm didnt pick it up. Ever since, Ive followed the fire dept's advice and use dual smoke alarm. Hopefully, if will never happen again, cause I'm counting on these to actually detect fires quickly.
